Introducing...

Mr. Pig

We've had Mr. Pig for a month or so now, anticipating the demise of Little Lamb.  Truman just never seemed to take to any other toys like he did his lamb.  Well, I think his mourning period is over, and he has now moved on!

Would you agree?

Look familiar?

For those of you who don't remember...

Ahhh, it feels good to know that our plan worked.  Introduce a toy of similar size and shape (color and texture a little bit off, but dogs are colorblind, right?), and eventually he'll love it!

We'll be sure to pack Mr. Pig for Nana and Papa's house next week!  And we won't forget your squirrel, Harry! ;)

**On a side note, both dogs are doing well after vet/dentist last week.  Truman had to have one dead tooth pulled, but you can't even tell it's gone.  We are now brushing their teeth every other night in hopes of staving off another cleaning in the near future!  Sorry, Mom & Dad!  And thanks again! =)

 

Not-so-pearly whites

This guy

and this guy

are just enjoying a lazy Tuesday, sleeping and chewing on bones.

Little do they know they have an appointment with the vet (Harry's least favorite place on earth) tomorrow to get their teeth cleaned...dun dun dun!!!!  Now, this isn't just your ordinary cleaning how people think of it.  No, no, no!  This requires my poor pups to have blood drawn and tested (that in itself is a terrible thing), and then for them to be put under anaesthesia.  My poor, poor pups.  The vet says it's routine, and if they find any other problems (like loose teeth) while they're doing the procedure, they'll call and let me know.  Apparently we shouldn't have even waited this long for these guys to get their first teeth cleaning!  AND most likely it will have to be done again in a few years.  Plus, we'll have to start brushing their teeth daily.  I wonder how Nana and Papa will react to that one in a couple of weeks when they are watching them! ;)  Lo siento mucho, Mamacita!!!

I guess it's time for me to tell the poor guys what we have to get up so early for tomorrow...

Did you say vet?!?!?!?

Excuse me???...you mean I can't just lay around here all day?

Guess what their next appointment is after the vet/dentist???  Just look at Tru's face!!! ;)

R.I.P.

Little Lamb 2006-2010

You were a good friend.  In fact, you were Truman's first best friend (second now to Harry).  Ever since Truman opened you on his first Christmas, you guys have been inseparable.  You even took the blame for Tru's potty accidents when he was just a puppy.  We'd find you right on top of a fresh pile of poo, covering for your best friend! ;)  Little does Tru know that you've actually been replaced twice.  It was a miracle when we found you again at Big Lots after searching all over!!!  I'm so sad I didn't buy more of you that day.  You will always be remembered, Little Lamb.

Here's how I found him (close your eyes if you can't handle it!):

What have I done?!?

Don't look at me!!!
